Evaluate how the ethical teachings of Islam influence the life of adherents in terms of sexual ethics. Similar to nearly all faiths throughout the world, the ethical teachings of Islam heavily influences the lives of its adherents. The teachings of the Qur’an and the Hadith are vital to the formation of the sexual ethics within the Islamic Ummah. The Islamic faith views sexual activity as a form of worship provided it is conducted in a loving and matrimonial relationship. Also it is seen to strength the couple’s relationship and as a form of prevention of unlawful and sexual practises.
According to Potts & Short (1999) the core social arrangement within the institution of the family is the marital relationship. The right to engage in sexual activity is a defining characteristic of marriage in all cultures; at the same time, marriage limits sexuality, separating the couple from all other sexually active adults in the society. The aim of this investigation is to compare and contrast western culture with developing countries. Within this investigation, an analysis of cultural restrictions and oppressive regulation influence sexuality of the population. I also aim to touch on the subgroups of love and marriage in a variation of cultural constructs.
Ethics is a conscious stepping back and reflecting on morality, just as musicology is a conscious reflection on music. , particularly to pre-marital sex. This allows for many interesting points for discussion in a modern society like our own. The Natural Law approach to pre-marital sex is relatively simple sex is strictly for married couples only. This is because Natural Law is deontological and states that everything has a purpose, and that something is morally good, when it is fulfilling this purpose.
From the very beginning of time, God created Adam and Eve, man and woman. God blessed the man and the woman with the words “Be fruitful and multiply” (Sacred text). From this point on it has been known that a marriage should take place between a man and a woman. Like I stated above same sex couples do not have the ability to do as God blessed, “Be fruitful and multiply.” In the church homosexual practices are known as “sins gravely contrary to chastity.” Whether or not people believe that homosexuality is a sin is, in fact, their own opinion. People who engage in these same-sex relationships will suffer consequences whether they want to or not.
This broad marriage genus would supposedly encompass traditional marriage, homosexual or heterosexual unions, and whatever other bizarre new relationships might arise. This new “marriage” genus, however, is not marriage. Marriage is the permanent, sacred bond uniting a man and woman who desire to constitute a family and face life’s trials together. Marriage entails selfless dedication, devotion and sacrifice. Marriage and the family are sacred institutions that foster the common good of society.
The author establishes logos by stating his claims, providing main points, and providing supporting evidence for his claims. The author’s main claim is that our nation needs to develop true listening skills because it is not gay marriage that is threatening the family, “If anything is destroying the family these days, it is the inherently divisive strategies we use to communicate with one another.” Furthermore, he claims that before we take a personal stance on gay marriage, we should reach out with open minds and “really, truly listen and dig deep. Be generous and kind, and seek understanding.” In other words, seek understanding of each side before we judge and form our own opinions. The first main point of his argument is that he is proud that his organization has been able to establish an environment of “true listening and true respect” and gives evidence that they have done so despite the different political views
SHOULD HOMOSEXUALS BE ABLE TO MARRY? PHI103 01/16/2012 The simplest answer to the same-sex marriage issue is to determine the true meaning of the term "marriage" and what degree has it promoted and upheld a stable society based on the formation of moral ideologies and the control of the law. Which I have determined should not be made legal based on this premise. Religion is one of the main reasons some people do not like the idea of homosexuals having the right to marry. One of the most used arguments about the issue is that God says that same-sex interactions (marriage, sex, lesbian, homosexual acts) are abominations.
The purpose of sex is to procreate; as that is what genitalia are designed for. The purpose of marriage is, traditionally, to bring two people together to raise a family The point is surely not that it is traditional, but that Aquinas argues that the sanctity of marriage is necessary for personal and social flourishing - the telos or goal is eudaimonia. Therefore, the act with the purpose of making children should
Spacious is Allah’s earth! Those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!” (Az-Zumar 39:10) * Ahadith about Patience: Hadith no 1: Hazrat Ayesha (Radi’Allah’Ta’ala anha) narrates that, once she asked Aaqa Kareem (Sallallahu’Aliyhi’wasallam) about the plague. He (Sallallahu’alaiyhi’wasallam) replied, "That was a mean of torture which Allah used to send upon whom-so-ever He wished, but He made it a source of mercy for the believers, for anyone who is residing in a town in which this disease is present, and remains there and does not leave that town, but has patience and hopes for Allah's reward, and knows that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, then he will get such reward as that of a martyr." [Bukhari: Book 8 : Volume 77 : Hadith 616] Hadith no 2: Hazrat Abu Saeed (Radi’Allah’Ta’ala anhu) narrates that, ‘Once some people from the Ansaar asked Aaqa Kareem (Sallallahu’alaiyhi’wasallam) to give them something. Aaqa Kareem (Sallallahu’alaiyhi’wasallam) gave to everyone of them who asked for something, until all that He
According to the teachings of Christianity sexual desire was only useful within the sanctity of marriage. If sexuality activity is practiced for other reasons than reproduction, then it would be considered a sin. Homosexuality, masturbation, and the use of birth control would be considered the opposition of God's plan and morally wrong. This view is often classified as conservative and very strict. However it is the foundation of debates regarding the moral status of a large number of sexual acts – the latent stigma still attached to homosexuality is a prime example of the influence of the theological standpoint on sexual desires.
